Is it possible to mine bitcoin using a radio? Like a HAM radio linked to a mining rig?
Mining Bitcoin via Radio: Is It Feasible?

Can you explain why you'd even want to do that? What’s your goal? Seems more like a networking issue than a mining one.
Did a quick search and found some info. If you can set up a stable connection, it might work for mining. Bandwidth doesn’t need to be huge.
Wait, no mining rig can actually mine Bitcoin, right? Are you talking about using radio frequencies for it? Maybe you mean helium mining?
Nah, I’m just trying to find a way to mine in remote areas without paying for satellite or traditional internet.

Are you sure that’s worth it? You could just get a 4G router for cheaper.
No way! You can mine BTC with computers and mining rigs. But I doubt radio is viable since it needs a specific algorithm that radio can’t handle.

Bzzzt wrong on that! The OP's just using radio to link miners to an internet router far away. The algorithm doesn’t matter. Any internet connection works.
